The Voidbringers, a threat with numbers equal to their desire for vengeance, have returned, bringing with them a new Desolation for humanity, as described in Oathbringer, the third instalment of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive. Alethi soldiers led by Dalinar Kholin achieved a short victory at great cost: As the destructive Everstorm now sweeps the globe and awakens the formerly calm and docile parshmen to the horror of their millennia-long captivity by humans, the enemy Parshendi summoned it. In a frantic attempt to reach his family and warn them of the danger, Kaladin Stormblessed must accept the possibility that the parshmen's recently stoked rage may be entirely justified . Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realises that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar's blood-soaked past and stand together?and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past?even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilisation.
